The material in this module can be used as a stand alone - given in addition to regular courses. However, it can also be incorporated into course content when suitable.
Each section gives the presenter some Background Information on the area to be addressed as well as Suggestions for Integration of the material with subject material. There is also a Suggested Presentation if the teacher wants to present the material as a workshop. It includes suggested activities and procedures, materials necessary and time estimates. The module also contains a PowerPoint presentation with slides and notes, as well as exercises and handouts. The teacher may be selective – using parts or all of the module sections – or he/she may customise, alter or add to the module.
